– Illumination: In the Valencian Community, AICCV has energetically promoted the illumination in red of emblematic monuments as a symbol of support for people with hearing loss. Among the illuminated monuments were the Porta la Mar in Valencia, the Town Hall of San Vicente del Raspeig, and the fountain in the Plaza Mayor of Castellón, helping to visually reinforce the campaigns message throughout the region.
– Material distribution: Together with several city councils, posters have been distributed, the Valencia City Council distributed the poster in some MUPIS in the Town Hall square and the Onda City Council has also disseminated information about this day such as the University of Alicante.
– Transport companies in the region have collaborated by broadcasting advertising spots on Valencia city buses (EMT), while the Valencia metro have disseminated posters in their stations.
